Service attributes

Implementations of orion.navigate.openWith must define the following attributes:

name

The name of the editor that opens with this service

validationProperties

An object specifying what file types this service is applicable to. Currently the only supported attribute is Name, specifying a regular expression to match on the file name.

Example

Here is a sample plug-in that associates the Orion editor with .md (Markdown) files:

 var provider = new eclipse.PluginProvider();
 var serviceImpl = {};
 var serviceProperties = {
   name: "Orion web editor",
   href: "/edit/edit.html#${Location}",
   validationProperties: {Name: "*.md"}
 };
 provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.navigate.openWith", serviceImpl, serviceProperties);
 provider.connect();

When this plug-in is installed, the user will see Orion web editor as an available target in the Open With Navigator menu beside .md files:
